Egypt: The Downfall of a Tyrant

Egypt is byfar known for many things. Primarily for it's ancient history depicting Gods, Pharoahs, Queens, and Wars. It was seen as one of the greatest civilizations until it's downfall by the hands of the Roman Empire. But as of late Egypt has embarked on a revolution to bring down a uprising "Dictator" by the name of Ex-President Hosni Mubarak.He was called to step down from his position around Tuesday, January 25th and unlike a good president he refused

Though the big question from this is should America help? When America went through our own revolution we were backed by other European countries aswell as Native Americans in pursuit to gain freedom from Great Britain. Since then we seem to act colder to those  we have formerly held as allies. Personally I believe instead of helping countries like Irag and Afghanistan who do not want our help we should go and help Egypt who is fighting for what we thrive on, freedom.

Wouldn't our forefathers want us to help a country striken by poverty? A country rampant with Unemployment? A government of corruption that says it holds the title of a democracy but in reality is a tyrancy in disguise? I think personally that the man is wrong for removing so much freedom in order to hold a position he has no ability to manage. If he can't step up he should just stop it, stop it now.
